Such a hammering. van Gerwen's performance somehow got lost in how that went. Didn't look like a 109 average game at all if that makes sense.

Deeper Blue

Probably the worst I've seen Taylor play.

Love it

It seems like a long time ago since Lewis was Taylor's "apprentice"....

Two very anti-climatic final matches as Lewis cruises to a win against Whitlock

KevIRL

Taylor on his way back to the bdo then

gramar

Taylor never got going and in the last leg fell apart completely.
On 48 he went for 16 D16 and hit single 8. Not a disaster but his confidence
was shattered and couldn't hit a single! After that he he never going to get the double.

One other point. Is it my screen or was the camera on the bottom of the board at at a very odd angle that made it every difficult to see the darts thrown at 19's 17's etc?

And while I'm at it I'm not a big fan of the numbering either.

sc86

he was beat 6-2 by Keegan Brown in round one of the first UK Open qualifier today lol
bad few days for him

Johner

Going to have a nice little bet on Lewis at 11/8 to beat Taylor next week.

leggo

A bit late but...

The start of every Premier League Season, ever:

- Oooh, Taylor has new darts.
- Oooh, Taylor has lost weight.
- WHAT THE HELL?!? Taylor is in crisis!!!

He'll be 'better than ever' in a couple of weeks.

Barney had the head down there after the first couple of matches....

Drives me mad when he does that, it's like he loses interest in the match completely..

Kingp35

Barney just looked completely disinterested. Seems like his poor performances in the UK Open qualifiers have knocked his confidence.

grey_so_what

Both played mediocre there...a draw is about all it was worth..




Whitlock's head was nearly as low as Barney's.....Anderson won easy enough..

Kingp35

Taylor bottom of the league after two weeks. I really thought he was going to.win tonight after beating Lewis in the final last Sunday.

grey_so_what

Can't believe Taylor is in such bad form....

I still see him coming back though...

grey_so_what

I'd like to see Thornton get a draw....

Well, that ended on a damp squib for Thornton...

Rumour is he went back onto his old darts for the 2nd floor tournament last weekend

Was wondering that myself!

Wish id known that previously.

He still averaged 98.27 which was the second highest of the night after Lewis and that included being 3/12-25% on doubles.

Didnt look that high an average to me when I was watching, lot of loose darts.

Be interesting to see him next week against Wright who was awful tonight with an average of 83.83, comfortably the worst of the night.

It was a fairly low-key night of darts. No matches that really grabbed your attention.

I think the league format takes a bit of the edge off the darts. They know if they don't perform this week then there's next week and the excitement of tournament knock-out format just isn't there.

Yep, it's easily the poorest tournament on the PDC calender, I have very little interest in it and mostly have it on in the background while I'm doing other things.

That being said it's important for the money it brings in for the PDC so they can afford to pay out the prize money they do at the other tournaments.

Have to agree im not bothered even watching this as its very repetitive and a tired format at this stage.

mdwexford

Yeah I haven't liked it in years.

Degag

I think extending it to 10 players has ruined it. Also, it goes on for too long - nearly 4 months. It's a joke how out of 10 players, 6 are wildcards and on that how players like Chisnall, Newton and Anderson (While I like him, he is World no. 18) are in it while James Wade is not.

gramar

The Dutch darts masters is on Youtube this weekend if anyone's interested.

Johner

Thornton playing unreal darts here.

Will I Amnt

No living with Thornton in that form. Some turnaround from him, I think everybody expected a routine win for Anderson.

Kingp35

I've never seen him play so well. Unreal darts from Thornton.
